MEETING DATE: November 8, 2016
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution authorizing the issuance of a tax
exempt loan by the Oglesby Cultural Facilities Corporation to
provide financing for the enhancement of various properties of
Goodwill Industries of Southeast Texas.
BACKGROUND
Staff has been approached by representatives of the Oglesby Cultural Facilities Corporation
which is involved in the issuance of tax exempt bonds to provide financing for the following
projects to benefit Goodwill Industries of Southeast Texas: (i) refinancing a loan used to
purchase and remodel a Goodwill facility located at 1180 S. 11th Street, Beaumont, Texas; (ii)
financing and/or refinancing the purchase of land located at 6180 Delaware Street, Beaumont,
Texas for a new Goodwill retail store and donation center; (iii) refinancing a loan used to finance
property located at 3445 Phelan Boulevard, Beaumont, Texas to be used as a corporate
headquarters; and, (iv) refinancing the purchase of the site and an existing building and the cost
of rehabilitation and remodeling of a Goodwill donation center as 4715 Calder Avenue,
Beaumont, Texas. The bonds will be issued by the Cultural Facilities Corp. created by the City
of Oglesby, Texas. This corporation was created pursuant to the Cultural Education Facilities
Finance Corporation Act which authorizes the issuance of tax exempt bonds to finance facilities
such as Goodwill Industries of Southeast Texas. Because the project is located in Beaumont and
outside of the City of Oglesby, the issuer must obtain the approval of both Jefferson County and
the City of Beaumont due to special statutory requirements of the Texas Health and Safety Code.
The City's approval does not create any liability or obligation on the part of the City and the City
has no liability or obligation for the bonds or any other aspect of these projects. In addition, the
issuance of the bonds for these projects will not have any impact on the City's finances or its
ability to issue any future debt.
A public hearing was being held on the projects on November 4, 2016. This public hearing is
required under federal tax law and the hearing was conducted by a representative of Goodwill
Industries of Southeast Texas. Goodwill is asking that the City Council consider and approve the
resolution approving the issuance of a tax exempt loan by the Oglesby Cultural Facilities
Corporation for the purposes outlined herein.
FUNDING SOURCE
These projects will not have any impact on the City's finances or its ability to issue any future
debt.
